Series: Flavia de Luce #6 This one was a bit weird and seems to be taking the series in a new direction. I'm not entirely sure if I like the direction, but I still enjoy listening to the books.

New Review! THE DEAD IN THEIR VAULTED ARCHES is a middle book in a mystery series, true, But it still gets top marks for being Childhood's End for the main character, Flavia de Luce. Good stuff within! http://tinyurl.com/kmr9qjh I had to add a photo to make this work. *sigh*
